verdict is already at large in the media single mother casey anthony was cleared of murdering her two year old daughter this week but it's done nothing to sway public opinion that's been spurred on by t.v. in newspapers and the situation reports. innocent until proven guilty it's a whole mark principle of the american justice system legally after shoved aside from the vigor of some of the arrests young african black and brown subjects being sat down in the street and an obsessive kind of way fifty shots sixty sets laying on our stomach in our back as we run or as we watch or flee to breeding suspects into offenses in cases of entrapment entrapment is not legal entrapment is getting someone to do something that they would normally do to perp walks that parade suspects in handcarts for the world to see. to

a media frenzy devouring some cases and not others i finally did before that i see it as guilty until proven guilty in these cases the government is changing the laws sam and is a former white collar convict who knows the criminal justice system discrepancies inside and out i have while on the road to yours. covering up my primes when i decided to cooperate with the head it took the feds two more years. now a teacher he says media coverage also affects the jury pool they see the image of a guy in handcuffs and see an image of a person being arrested they see the image of a person doing the perp walk and they're affected just like everybody else. so are you presumed guilty from the get go and how much of a role does the media play if you're accused of a penis crime it's going to be in huge headlines on page one when you're exonerated
5:05 am
it's on page twenty seven below the fold two column inches and your neighbors somehow didn't manage to catch it that day so everyone still thinks you're a child molester not guilty take the not guilty verdict in the casey anthony murder case involving her two year old daughter the court of public opinion remains split from a court of justice all thanks to nonstop media coverage of the case for the past three years. it's crazy and i think it's great they haven't checked and they get it from the media assume she was going to go. in the case of former i.m.f. head dominique strauss kahn the media satisfied their luck missed a step with extreme passion only for the case to crumble i think there should be a. media outlets are required to play your exoneration up as big and as long as your accusation this is rarely the case as dubious practices in the criminal justice system spread so does the finger pointing and questioning the future of human rights in the us where as we go on as americans i'm sixty one years old and
5:06 am
i'm like oh. this is getting now going this is really getting ugly the principles that the us once prided itself in are either fire suspects or having to fight their battles publicly the minute they are arrested in attempts to prove their innocence underlining that the discrepancies in the u.s. criminal justice system are alive and kicking and the citron are hard to play on. the march towards a reborn egypt has slowed to a cruel now the interim leaders have been sent the strongest message yet that they're not doing enough the tens of thousands turning out the biggest protests months demonstrators filled tahrir square in cairo and gotten another city angry that mean to him and government is dragging its heels on the forms demanded and they toppled president barack gyptian is also frustrated at the sluggish pace of prosecuting sooner fishelson police officers are he's a twenty three and he's a rising them still looms large international relations professor mark omen says

the revolution may have trouble change. the expectations that the fall of mubarak will be followed by a change of regime hasn't really come about with barak and his family and closest cronies have been imprisoned or accused will go on trial next month of all sorts of crimes against the people and against the interests of country but of course field marshal tantawi and the other members of the military ruling council were his appointees to a great extent across egypt people don't see that their local boss the local head of the biggest ration has changed so there's a sense that the old regime was decapitated but minus mubarak it's still in power ironically one of the big reasons for the revolution people's economic discontent social this contentious it was a shot on employment and so on actually the process of getting rid of mubarak has made in the short term the economy worse but i do think really there's an easy

far. the sexual assault cases of d s k angelina stands are getting a lot of coverage in the news do you think it's right for women or men to report any sexual encounter they feel uncomfortable with this week let's talk about that if she feels that she's been violated i think reporting is the best idea and how that plays out you know that that's how that plays out but reporting is should be a woman's instinct at what point does it cross over to consent or just for taishan . yeah it's a it's a tough line between those two people with just two people it's impossible i think women should not get in situations i think there are lots of times that we put ourselves in situations and we have a messenger inside us that says get out of there and sometimes we don't listen to that message one says says no she says no it's

yes we're traveling two thousand kilometers east of moscow. and in southern siberia it's one of the many areas where entire villages are becoming ghost towns as young people move to the cities an older generation get here and that but there's one place where the residents have a good reason to stay. to find out what it is. here we are in the village of chester in the core grand region and for the past ten or fifteen years its population has been steadily increasing here is the reason why. it's monday morning and alexander a former prison guard is it work testing the incoming employees for alcohol. if they're over the limit there is a choice to be cited for a no show and lose thirty percent of them on celery or joke three kilometers and be docked ten percent of that month's wage. we do the testing every morning regardless

of gender or position within the company could be that they will see it on their paycheck and that's a strong incentive not to drink working week. enforce the alcohol abstinence is the idea of this man alexander able to cough is the director of the still such plan and likes to extend his influence as far as possible a man of big ideas very epitome of micromanagement for the past fifteen years he's been preaching to his employees how to make good sausages and how to live a good life. while it is a must it's the quality of the product that gave you this job in the first place and it's the quality that determines whether you'll keep it which after firing dozens of workers for showing up drunk at work xander started lateran his employees on the harms of all the hall three times a day during the breaks. charlemagne said the drunk for the first time should be beaten with a stick those court for the second time should be beaten and probably. should be
